First Methodist McKinney is proud to work with the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR). The humanitarian aid arm of the United Methodist Church, UMCOR is there to provide relief when war, storms, and natural disasters strike anywhere on the globe. Because your normal giving supports the operating budget of UMCOR, 100 percent of your special gift today will go directly to people and communities in crisis. Currently, our UMCOR giving is focused on the victims and refugees of the war in Ukraine.

Feeding Friends & Families is collecting socks in January!  A new, warm pair of socks can make such a huge difference for someone in need.

 

We would like donations of NEW packages of socks for kids and adults.  We’d also love donations of fuzzy socks.

 

Please bring your donations to the bin in the church foyer.  Thanks!
